The gory details ... - if the original, which didn't make it to my screen is important, I've appended it below
Well, as I mentioned in my initial note, I was rounding 3rd on my project. Accordingly, I hadn't taken the time to assemble the information below, but now, have. As it's fairly voluminous, if you're not interested in the machine, this would be a good time to go on to the next message. However, if you're even a bit interested, this will give you a great bundle of information. This is a Clevo D900T machine, very widely used worldwide by high-end gamers, marketed by Sager in USA. Links below will provide more info if these are unfamiliar names to you. As before, rather than getting into discussions taking up the list/forum bandwidth, if you'd like direct communication with me about it, please drop me a line directly: skipgundlach at gmail dot com. So, to start, the first question even the curious usually want to know is how much do I want for it. As you can see by going to the links below, this machine as built is well over $3000, with nothing more than the XP Home OS (SP3 installed, all current upgrades applied). Whether the (extra) stuff I'll leave on it (and, of course, the carrying case + all the original connectors, manuals, drivers and OS disks) with backup disks on the "downloads" folder and subfolders is of interest to you doesn't matter as to the cost, as it's not considered. So, I'm open to $1500 or discussion. Those of you who have followed my path these last several years know that a good home may well be more important than the money involved. Thus the request (some might see it as "demand") to write to me directly if you're interested. Rather than blather on about all the stuff which is very conveniently and clearly provided in the links below, I'll just say that, as different from a standard ~$2500 build, this machine has these upgrades: * 4G RAM (but the bios can only see/use 2.75) in 4 1G chips - if I'd known, I'd have just bought two 1G chips more than the supplied 2x512M instead of filling all 4 slots with 1G * DVD RW * nVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX w/256MB with * 17" WUXGA 1920x1200 screen (standard is SXGA 1680x1050) and * Remote for the Avermedia TV Tuner * 2 extra batteries, one NIB, one tired * 60G 7200 RPM HD * Integrated 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet LAN + Internal 802.11g Wireless LAN Card + Internal Bluetooth Wireless Module * A long list of utilities and useful programs not installed by Sea-Tech, including antispam, antispybot, antivirus, diagnostics, MSOffice97, video players, Firefox and Thunderbird, Google Talk,Earth,Picasa,videoplayer and others, 3D screensavers, Skype, more Now, on to the links: http://www.notebookforums.com/thread49132.html - a comprehensive pictorial review and benchmark test series http://www.computerhouse.com/cgi-bin/tame/store/sager_9860.tam - this shows a retail version of the computer, along with the various upgrades available http://www.powernotebooks.com/specs/Sager/9860specs.php - a short info page on a base unit of this type, very geeky, including its ability to have two different applications running on two different screens http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=91510 - a discussion of "who is Clevo" as well as more information on them than you'll probably want to read :{)) Reminder: if you're interested in this, please drop me a line directly: skipgundlach at gmail dot com.

For those mariners reading this, one of my projects, now nearly finished, has been to transition from Sea-Tech's extremely powerful and feature-rich Navigation laptop and Cap'n Navigator Package to a 12V mini computer with separate screen. If you're in the market for one of the Sea-Tech Navigation packages, complete with the Cap'n package and the many other programs they load (as well as MaxSea and the entire NOAA chart catalog, along with everything down to Venezuela in the Cap'n charts, which I've loaded, plus other enormous amounts of bells and whistles related to the laptop and other programs), drop me a line, cuz it will go on eBay shortly if not. This is a link to their current offering. Mine is not this specific item, as they change computers fairly regularly, and mine has 4G of ram but only 60GHD, but otherwise the specifics are similar. http://sea-tech.com/seatech_navigator.htm L8R Skip (skipgundlach at gmail dot com) Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !
